Job experience? Were you being paid to program when you were 5? I'm sure a lot of us have been programiming that long, but not out in the 'real world', where there's some guy standing over you telling you what to program or making you use Java and interface with legacy database systems and read other people's code and such things. I think that's what was meant by 'Job experience'. (Unless the article didn't actually say those words. I don't remember exactly what it said)
OK, I went and downloaded this thing, to see what it could do. Unfortunately the getting started tutorial is only available as powerpoint and gaint images which have been translated into PDF. No plain text (for the tutorial, at least) anywhere on opencyc.org. How the heck are you supposed to figure this out? Anyone have links to better docs?
What if we were to send a big empty tank to Mars, fill it up there, and then bring the water back to Earth orbit (using hydrogen from that water as fuel)? Since Mars's gravitational field is so much weaker than ours, maybe we could actually get through the whole trip without taking water from Earth. Since once you're in orbit, you're half way to anywhere.
I don't think the "don't keep all your eggs in one basket" arguement really makes any sense in this case. If you're going to bury all your eggs and don't want anyone to find them, it's a lot easier to guard a single basket, and less likely that someone'll stuble across an egg by accident. Distributing nuclear waste freenet-style is exactly what we don't want to do.
I got Rollerblades for Christmas! Woowoo! And since we finally got a nice half inch of snow here in Wisconsin 2 days before Xmas, I can practice sliding around on the ice and throwing myself into snowpiles! (Since I haven't figured out how to stop by using the brakes yet)
Heck, yeah. Over here, wee all decided we'd have everyone draw names out of a hat, and that's who you would buy a present for. We wouldn't have done the buy presents thing at all, except that my sister and all her kids are visiting.
Independence day seemed like a good movie the first time (I was about 13). Then I bought the movie. The first thing I thought was/oh my god this is dum/. As long as I've only seen Armageddon once, it will remain a good movie.
If you have spaces in filenames, you have to go and put everything between quotes. That's why I always rename my mp3s using underscores. mpg123 is easier to type than "MP3 Player", too.
Geez. Can't you people be a little more tolerant? Not everyone thinks exactly like you. Didn't your mother ever tell you to keep your mouth shut if all you can do is insult people?
One of the problems with banning software is that it does harm without doing much good - you may stop script kiddies from using them, but competent programmers who may (or may not) have a legitemate use for them can build them themselves. The 'bad' users will be less likely to want to make their creations public, and will not get caught, while the 'good' users get locked up or whatever.
But you do it 5 times, and if they don't all agree, do it again. Very unlikely that they would all give the same wrong answer. Even if you just dit it all 5 times once, you wouldn't take the average, but rather the 5 out of 5 (and once in a while 3 or 4) that do agree.

I've never been able to program a very good game, but I have a lot of fun designing both graphics and levels for existing engines, and it's definately an artist's job. Levels not designed by artits are generally crap (most of Doom2's levels are crap - I made some of the best Doom/2 levels ever (sadly, they were lost in the great hard drive format of 2000)). Check out my first 3 DaveGnukem levels (beware, I'm a maze person): http://cblumpman.tripod.com/download/ DG something.zip (you'll get a short dir index)
Man, I've been trying to learn to use vim, but just can't get used to it. I've found that it would be a lot nicer than emacs, tho. Not just the finger stuff, either. Can it hold multiple buffers, tho? I think that's why I keep going back to emacs. (And how do you do the equivalent of emacs's C-space... C-W?)
Final Fantasy is great if you want to watch a really long movie, but if you want a real adventure you go play Dungeon Master, or Legacy of the Wizard, or Ultima, or one of those games that I keep making half of before I decide the engine is crap and give up.
BTW,
ID's level design totally sucked in Doom2.

If the part of the speaker which moves and generates the sound (the cone) is in the helium on its outer face , then the higher
wave speed of the helium (different speed of sound) will change the pitch. If it is in air then it won't - the same as when you
talk underwater you still sound about the same - because you have a larynx full of air and not water.
Wouldn't the pitch remain the same as long as the speakers vibrate at the same rate? Wouldn't the sound just travel at a different speed, but still have the same frequency (although a different wavelength)? Huh.

So try to set a good example for him and stop stepping on the darn roaches, eh?

Ooh, and 30 CD-Rs to trade mp3s with my friends on!

It's probably just a couple of old bolts.

read the fine print. It says:
"UPS Ground shipments from US to Canada may involve routing your package over Niagra falls in a barrell, depending on your location and current traffic conditions"
Always read the fine print.
They're all on crack tonight.
That first one was moderated as a troll. WTF?
What happened to 'post anonymously'?

At this rate, you have 4 boxes which are each beter than mine in every way (except without it's own monitor)
160 GB? What on earth are you going to do with 160 GB? That's 26 bytes for every person on earth!
Yes, yes, yes!!!

As was pointed out in Part 3, Mr. Fusion only powered the 'flux capacitor'. It had nothing to do with making the wheels turn.
Why do the speakers even need a cabinet?
My sig is too long. I should change it.
Oh yeah. That's what you were saying. Never mind.
Sorry I screwed up on the blockquote. That was supposed to be html-formatted.

Like Cartman's Trapper Keeper! Yeah!
So you're assigning 'shit' to 'SteveVai', or did you mean 'SteveVai == shit'?
